Macron's Coalition Faces Decline Ahead of European Elections
Support narrows to wealthy and elderly as far-right gains momentum.
- Support for Macron's coalition in the upcoming European elections has significantly declined, with a notable 13-point gap behind the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) party.
- The coalition's support base has narrowed to primarily wealthy and elderly voters, with a stark contrast in voting intentions between age groups.
- Valérie Hayer has been confirmed to lead Macron's Renaissance party and its allies in the June elections, amid challenges in rallying broader support.
- The far-right RN party, led by Jordan Bardella, is consolidating its base, with a strong eurosceptic stance among its supporters.
- Despite a general favorability towards the European project among the French electorate, the RN's eurosceptic message is resonating with a significant portion of voters.
